Jumping rope: A kid favorite with grownup benefits
If you’re searching for a great piece of exercise equipment, just ask the nearest grade-schooler. Kids jumping rope on playgrounds and at parks are getting a great workout while having fun.
A jump rope is simple and rugged. You can work out with it at the gym or in your living room (if your ceiling is high enough). It’s easily portable and fits into your purse or even your pocket. Better still, you can pick one up for less than $15 at a department or sporting goods store.
